Summary

The principles of a process for the steady mixed continuous culture of entrapped mesophilic lactic streptococci is given. Characteristics of a pH-stat continuous stirred tank reactor were examined. A stable balance of cit. (+) and cit. (−) bacteria in continuously pre-fermented milk was observed. The incubation time for fresh fermented cheese manufacturing using pre-fermented milk can be reduced by 50%.
